Humphrey Davy Findley Kitto FBA (6 February 1897 – 21 January 1982) was a British classical scholar of Cornish ancestry.
He was educated at The Crypt School, Gloucester, and St. John's College, Cambridge.
[1] He concentrated on studies of Greek tragedy, especially translations of the works of Sophocles.
His early book, "In the Mountains of Greece", describes his journeys in that country, with no more than incidental reference to antiquity.
[2] In 1962, William Beare nominated H. D. F. Kitto for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
